Total is a great basic Greek yoghurt. Lovely with Greek honey or mixed with muesli instead of milk. Super also just with some mint and salt. Garlic and cucumber optional for making tzatziki, obviously.

There are a few other varieties, that we only find when we're in Greece, which are solid and keep their shape, cut with a knife. Yum.

Dolloped on mbourghouri ...mmmm!


Yup ... love the stuff too ZoC.

What language are 'rizin pellafin' and 'mbourghouri'?. I wont ask about yogurt.

The roots of the words are all Greek, Deniz. The arabinised forms are more commonly used since the Arabs did the bulk of the translations from Ancient Greek, in the middle ages.

'The name bulgur is from Turkish bulgur, which is from Arabic burghul, which is from Persian barghūl.[1] The food was popular in all regions of the Turkish Ottoman Empire and variants of the name are in all the corresponding languages (including bollgur in Albanian, pligoúri or pourgoúri in Greek, gurgur in Aramaic, and bulgur in Bulgarian), բլղուր (բուլղուր) in Armenian .'

I dont know what to say apart from, 'I hate contradicting O'.

You confirmed what I said by going backwards. The ROOT is Greek, transmitted to Arabic and then you lot, last.

Is O angling for a part in the remake of "My fat Greek Wedding"

Gus Portokalos: Give me a word, any word, and I show you that the root of that word is Greek.

But you see, Oracle's name is greek in origin...

Ora - ώρα; = time
Cle - Kul - Κώλο = arse, from where waste material derives.

so literally, 'Oracle' is a 'time waster', but also, in the original, connotes someone full of shit.

Not much of a wordsmith, are you?

I know what you mean.......I've seen the Macdonalds on the Larnaca seafront crowded with the future generation of Cyprus. How many of them really appreciate good traditional Cyp cuisine? We (the older generation)sadly are the lucky ones)

Ora - ώρα; = time
Cle - Kul - Κώλο = arse, from where waste material derives.

so literally, 'Oracle' is a 'time waster', but also, in the original, connotes someone full of shit.

But she is right ofcourse.

All languages began with grunts and groans.

Ugg Uhh!! AAh, ah, UggUggh.?

We are alll the same, as I have proven.

Searching for racles 'grunts and groan' lo and behold, proof that 'Lingri' was invented at the 'dawn of Life' and it must have been in Cyprus.

Could not find the clip containing the scene with the 'opposable thumb'

Great film that made my hairs stand up.
